MAIN BODY
Personal analysis
Strength
Strengths are the efficiency of the individual in order to achieve the overall growth
and objectives of the individual. My skill audit and personality assessment test has allowed
me to identify the following strengths as an individual.
Time management: I carry an effective time management skill. This is a key skill associated
with my personality that has supported me in performing all my responsibilities on time. This
is a key skill and strength associated with my personality. This has guided me to deliver the
best level of operations always as an individual (Ramirez, 2017). Management skill is a key
positive thing an individual can hold in its personality to achieve the best level of career
heights as an individual. This makes me more compatible against other individual available to
perform the similar actions.
Leadership skill: Leadership skill is another efficiency I carry as an individual. This is
among the major capability I hold as an individual. My leadership skill has always supported
me in making the dominant presence in the every area I perform or operate. This ability could
allow me to guide other at the work place or in the college (Calvo and et.al., 2016). This
involves various other strengths like delegation skill, communication skill and many such
abilities that van allow the individual to achieve the best possible career heights as an
individual.

Communication: This is a key part of my personality that has allowed me to deliver the best
level of coordination with other individual associated with me. This is among the major treat
associated with my personality. Communication has always favoured me in delivering my
views and putting my opinions in front of others. Due to the effective communication ability I
could perform the best level of operations. This ability has also polished my leadership
ability.
Marketing skill: I am good at promoting and marketing the good part about myself. This
ability has allowed me to showcase the best part of myself in front of others. This has been
my major strength that has always supported me to do the best of my potential.
Weakness
Following are the different weaknesses associated with my personality.
Decision making ability: I still need to develop my decision making ability. This would
support me in making the best level of decisions as an individual. This weakness is the key
reason why I faced many problems and challenges in achieving my dreams (Trent and et.al.,
2020). In order to achieve the best career growth I needed to improve this ability or skill.
Critical thinking ability: I am not good at the critical thinking. This is a key area of
development I want to pursue in order to achieve the best possible career heights as an
individual. Critical thinking would make my decisions in life more fruitful.
Less confidence: This is another negative part of my personality. I feel less confident at
important occasions in my life. This is a critical element that has always pushed me backward
in achieving my goals and objectives in life. If I want to achieve my dreams and best possible
career growth I needed to improve my level of confidence.
Opportunities
Following are the opportunities that are associated with my personality.
Skill development opportunity: I have the opportunity to grow and develop my skills that
will further support I achieving the best possible career heights and growth in my career. Skill
development is the best growth opportunity I contain as an individual.

Personality development opportunity: This is another key opportunity I carry as an
individual. This will improve different approaches that can support me in improving my
overall personality that will further support in achieving my career objectives (Völkel and
et.al., 2020).
Threats
I carry the following threats associated with my personality.
Competition: Competition is a key threat associated with my personality as an individual.
This is a key threat that I have in against to achieve the best possible career heights. In recent
time competition becomes aggressive in market. Universities are aggressively engaged in
delivering the best level of students so that overall objectives of the business can meet. All
these have increased the level of competition available in market (Butcher, 2016). I have the
fear that at any time due to aggressive level of competition any one can take over my position
in the organization where I work. This also creates an extra pressure over my shoulders that
resist me in achieving the overall objectives of my career goals.
Threat of ignored: I have the huge threat that if I did not improved my personality than I
will be replaced by anyone in the market. As the companies and organisation contain plenty
of choices that can create an opportunity to get replaced at any time in my career.
The above mentioned SWOT Analysis is a reflection of different strengths, weakness,
opportunities and threats associated with my personality.
Career action plan
From the above SWOT analysis it is very much clear that the analysis of the personal skills is
very important as this will assist the person in knowing the areas in which the person is
lacking. Thus for this with help of the weakness identified above the use of the action plan
will take place. Further in this modern world the competition among the job seekers is also
high and in marketing this is very high. Thus, for this it is very essential for me to try to
improve all the areas in which i am lacking good skills and capabilities. Under this the major
weakness of me will be identified and for this the most essential thing is to make an action
plan which is as follows-
